Honda Vs Nissan..

I cant see how it wouldnt be legal.They are still NA and injected....Very common to come by also...They came standard here in our corolla Seca SX and GTi....I drive an SX...hauls well once the revs are up, But the corollas are heavier than the sprinters...I am in NSW so I am not real sure how the VIC rules are...

haha dun honestly no the power to weight ratio for vic p platers..

all the sprinters in vics specially the ae86s are all bollocksed up... neone actually have a good example?

every now and again I get an old grey haired chinese guy drive in my area with a bog stock, faded blue paint AE86..Now if only I could pull up at the lights next to him oneday.I would offer him $4K on the spot for it. Sprinters are getting snapped up like crazy, even in Japan...awesome little drifters

[rockstargt-r]

if only haha.. the lil ae86s are jus awesome.. too bad the ones down here are pretty much dead..

think my parents actualli had one b4 we traded it in bout 7 years ago.. onli got 4k off the new honda at that time tooo

wish they knew to keep the car instead..

Good thing also is that Sprinters come standard with the 4age engine.Last of the 20 valves is still a 4 age....So same engine block, worse case scenario you could buy the head,ecu and throttle bodies etc and bolt it all onto the standard motor.This I would only do if its illegal for you to drive due to power weight ratio ruling..But I would just go the whole engine swap rather than this

and i no this is outta place buh did australia miss out on the s14 silvia??? cant seem to find ne on carpoint/carsales..

wen i say miss out on the car i mean not popular or somethin down under..

[adam-__-]

Australia got S14's. Just not NA ones. S13's, 14's and 15's are all silvias. It's just that the S13 is more known for being a silvia.

[adam-__-]

I don't think you'll be able to drive a 4age powered ae86 because you can't do anything to your car which increases engine power output. No engineering is needed though because Japan got ae86's with 4age's.

i hope this picture will help you make up your mind. heheheheeh

lol dunn even recognise the honda.. integra vtir?

[urtwhistle]

B4 my R34 i had a VTI Accord which was dumped on its ass. i still miss that car. it wasn't fast but damn it was comfy to drive....... it never broke. i had 1 thing go wrong on it in 2 years and thats cos i shorted out the whole ignittion circuit. ps i hate to say it but Honda build quality is about 10x 1.03^89 better. but hey u need to figure do you wanna have a slow NA car and have every 1 say"why didn't you buy the turbo model" or dam your goes damn well for a little 2L.

even if there not screwed up, the civic breeze;s engine jus seems tooo small for me.. i like the body buh im worried i mite get screwed over coz of d tiny engine

Silvia.. hands down..

Best pick of the lot!..

Quite light.. better than an NA Skyline.. Plus PLENTY of money for mods left over!

dont buy an 86.. because poeple who have 86 tend to be wankers who think their Tsuchia or Takumi and end up writing it off

Na skylines are crap.. small brakes.. 4 stud.. open diff (I believe)

NA 300ZX's: It takes alot of money to build a good NA car, let alone even more when you have to buy everything twice cos its a V6

MR2's are not a bad buy.. you dont see too many of them around.. being different is really important for me (i know.. haha.. i drive a 32) and you can get them to be an awesome car to drive!

Thats my 2c

[typevu]

Get a Prelude VTiR... 2.2L VTEC approximately 100-105kw at the wheels standard give or take a few. Comfy cruiser of a car with great handling and descent poke.

FWD goes well with maccas trays

[andz]

Honda for sure

the pic will definately convince you :laughing-smiley-014:

[RBwhatever]

dc2r integra

[gel]

Probably one of the better handling modern RWD NA car...

1st Gen MX-5
